Latvian band STandART has released its 2nd studio album "Autumn News" which contains 11 songs. 9 of them are in English; 2 – in Latvian. Just like the previous album "Australia", "Autumn News" has also been produced in collaboration with Kaspars Tobis from Latvian band "Dzelzs Vilks" in Sigulda Sound studio (Latvia). The digital lead-single "I’m the Voices" / "Autumn News" is available as a free download on STandART’s Last.fm profile.

Two songs – "Pioneers" and "Autumn News" – is a result of collaboration with Polish musician Hien. With assistance of guest musicians, several acoustic instruments have been involved into recording, such as, violin, bassoon and harmonica. The members of the band admit that, compared to the previous album "Australia", "Autumn News" is more homogeneous and captures more different feelings and emotions. The lyrics mainly focus on seasons, nature, animals, and their interrelation with the world of human.

STandART was founded in 2002 in Latvian town Jelgava by Kalvis Kluburs. During the first years, the band experienced permanent lineup changes, but later the lineup established, and STandART became known as: Kalvis Kluburs, Juris Tipa de Casar, Vladislav Belsky and Harry Belsky. The band focused on making dark electronic music with a slight usage of sampling and acoustic instruments. STandART have played concerts in the Baltic countries and Poland and has been a support act for the legendary German band "Camouflage" in Estonia. After the release of the 1st full album "Australia", Juris Tipa de Casar moved to Mexico. He has been replaced by Mārtiņš Links.

Album "Australia" was nominated for the Best Debut 2007 at Latvian Music Awards, and also won recognition from DJs and music magazines, which underline that, although STandART’s musical direction is clear, the band manages to create a very special and unique sound. STandART concert plans include spending the rest of the year 2009 with concerts in the Baltic States and going on the band’s first Finland tour in February 2010.
